The Clippers
OKC was up 9 at halftime and the Clips ended up winning by 15. They absolutely crushed them in the second half. It seemed like they figured out how to totally break down OKC's defense and get open 3's, Blake down on the block one-v-one, or just let CP3 do his thing if OKC didn't double him. On the flip side, when Durant or Westbrook can't get their outside shots to go down, OKC can't score. Strange - at times - they look unbeatable when Westbrook is getting to the rim, Durant is the smoothest scoring machine in the league, and Harden herking and jerking his way to 20. But at other times, they just look terrible, like when the Clips when to a zone and just crammed the perimeter, they couldn't make shots. NBA playoffs will be awesome and is totally going to come down to match ups.

Clippers half game off the Lakers for 3rd place. Would be huge to edge them out and not face Memphis in the first round. I think Memphis would beat the Clippers but actually think the Lakers are a really tough match up for Memphis. Clippers tough last stretch of games though. Yeah, with OKC looking wobbily the West is really wide open right now.
